It’s massive. Towering over him, gleaming in the moonlight.

The flames on his skin still have yet to flicker out completely and they cast little glittering lights along the grass as he stumbles across it, closer and closer. Dangerously close.

If he had died, he never would have been able to...

He grimaces, reading down to dig into the metal surrounding his newest injury. His quirk is fighting its damndest to eat straight through his stomach, it almost seems. There’s a new patch brewing on his belly, skin slowly but steadily decaying, turning as dark as the rest of the ruined parts of himself. The newest staples he’s branded himself with slip from the skin, loose and leaking. He swears at the sight of them, grimacing as he presses a shaking hand over them, trying to keep them in place.
